1st.  It is the official map; and therefore must be the best and the most reliable, which is everything, particularly at this time when a good map is of such universal interest.  This is the ONLY MAP that has been officially adopted for Government purposes.

2d.  The Coast is so distinct and accurate, it shows every little island and inlet, and is as correct as the large maps issued by the Coast Survey Office.

3d.  It is very cheap.  It is thirty-two by fifty-five inches, and is one of the best specimens of map engraving ever done in this country.

4th.  It presents the whole Southern States at one view, and the railroads are so distinctly marked as to show at a glance the most important strategical points.

GENERAL MCCLELLAN has acknowledged in several communications the “great importance to his movements of the accurate information in regard to the Southern Railroads, conveyed in this map.”

Testimonials of the same character have been received from Prof.  A.D.  BACHE, of the Coast Survey Department, as to the great accuracy of the coast line; and one hundred extra copies ordered “to distribute among the Commanders of the Atlantic and Gulf Squadrons," which have been furnished.

While ADOPTED FOR ITS ACCURACY by the MILITARY AUTHORITIES, as has been stated, it is yet more especially a COMMERCIAL MAP, and was at first intended expressly for that purpose.  Hence, its value will be undiminished when the war is over, and renewed attention is directed to that section.

After what has been said of THE GREAT VALUE OF THIS MAP TO EVERY INTELLIGENT MAN, is there any one who will be without it? particularly since its price has been made as low as that of inferior maps, in order to keep up with the times.  We are constantly told by those who already have several of the maps rushed upon the public, that they have laid them aside and use only this one.

ACCURACY AND DISTINCTNESS are the characteristics of this map, the only one sanctioned by the Government.
